He is currently a site Principal Investigator on an NIH/NHLBI R01 (Improving Heart Failure Risk Stratification in the ED- PI- Alan Storrow, MD- Vanderbilt). His collaboration with Dr. Neal Weintraub (Division Director of Cardiology- Cincinnati) and Dr. Storrow resulted in funding on a K23 grant from the NIH/NHLBI investigating heart failure risk-stratification after acute therapy (funding period 2008-2013).
